Home Remedies For Fatigue Syndrome
Fatigue is the most common presenting complaint in doctor's
offices, and can be part of scores of serious medical conditions,
as much as from overwork or lack of sleep. Underlying causes
need to be identified, and natural medicine recognizes many
less obvious contributing factors. These include chronic
intestinal dysbiosis, liver overload, adrenal exhaustion,
hidden infections (yeast,
viral or parasitic) and food allergies. Typical short-term
solutions such as caffeine, tobacco, sugar and other stimulants
are ultimately debilitating for the hormonal and nervous
system. That is why home remedies for fatigue syndrome are
the best long term option to compliment your treatment.
Herbal medicines should be directed toward the underlying
causes, but for simple fatigue, tonic and adaptogenic herbs
can be relied upon. These have the ability to increase vitality
and well-being, balancing and improving the function of
the body's major control systems—immune, hormonal, cardiovascular
and nervous. Thus they are particularly suitable for the
effects of prolonged stress, both physical and psychological.
This class of botanical medicines can help compensate for
and overcome the effects of overwork, depression, prolonged
illness and convalescence after illness. In this list of
home remedies for fatigue syndrome you will find the whole
spectrum of benefits.
Optimal effects occur when tonics are taken long term (i.e.
one to six months). They are best taken in chronic illness,
rather than acutely and are typically used in a cycle of
3 weeks on and one week off. See also Immune
Weakness - Liver Conditions - Stress.
